Cet épisode revient sur les principaux défis de la politique budgétaire au Maroc, à partir du chapitre consacré au sujet dans le Oxford Handbook of the Moroccan Economy. Les intervenants soulignent le caractère largement structurel des déficits, la difficulté à sortir d’une politique budgétaire procyclique, ainsi que l’étroitesse de l’espace budgétaire face aux grandes réformes sociales et aux investissements à venir. Ils insistent enfin sur la nécessité d’élargir l’assiette fiscale, de mieux mobiliser le potentiel fiscal existant et de renforcer la gouvernance pour préserver la soutenabilité budgétaire à long terme.
